Hello all my Tunz Ato Controller box got wet with salt water and now it is giving me an alarm. How can I clean it out? Thanks in advance

I cannot speak directly about that controller, but generally, if you can remove whatever cover it has to expose the inside, then carefully rinse in ro/di water to remove the salt and then place in a bag of rice or even in the oven at it's LOWEST SETTING it will dry out and might be ok.
